1978 car and driver (pics)

yesterday at a car show in minneapolis i found a may 1978 car and driver magazine and thought it would be something really cool to have around so i picked it up for 10 bucks!
i scanned a few pages that are my favorite, but this mag is 30 pages of nothing but rx7 articles

Ill share a bit for yall, anyone else have one?







THIS NEXT ONE IS MY FAVORITE, IF YOU LOOK AT "PERFORMANCE" YOULL SEE THE 7 GOT THE BEST RATINGS IN ALMOST EVERY TEST!!! MAKES ME PROUD!

i guess you didn't grow up in the 80's, but in 1978, 9 seconds zero-60 was porsche territory.

and my sa22, got 23mpg freeway no problem, it's actually better than the FC...

lol alot of people say rotarys have noo torque but id say there pretty efficent, i mean if it has 100 hp at 7k and 105 lbs at 4k, well thats a pretty nice curve there. plus ive seen how the torque follows the hp really nicley in these things on the dyno.
